    well Revis has never come cheap

    probably best to just focus on guys we can build around that will be here for years

    This is not a good year to plan a spending spree in free agency. Most of the top guys have major red flags. Poe is a 2-down player. Jeffery is always hurt and has a PED suspension.

    I'm not sure I like this idea of the Titans being big players. I hope Robinson shops very wisely.

    You only mentioned 2 guys. Also poe would be a great addition to our dline. Poe and casey would be an awesome combo. There's also a couple lbs, cbs, safeties and o players to pursue. I think we'll bring in 2 "big name" guys and 3 or 4 2nd tier guys.

    Depends on who we go after. The CB group is extremely good, Tony Jefferson is a very good strong safety, Hightower is a legit play-maker (just ask Matt Ryan), and Larry Warford is top 5 guard. Add in Poe who is a disruptive force and there are some very talented young players at the top of the FA pool.

    The biggest issue is that after the top group it gets pretty thin. That's why we should be aggressive in going after top guys and not settling for mediocre or questionable players.

    Guys, I'm not saying there aren't players worth targeting. I'm saying there aren't players worth spending big on. And the Titans are giving indications that they plan to be big spenders.

    JR has been wise with it

    Jones and Matthews top 2 at their positions last off season and both took fair deals to be here

    Hightower is the guy I could see us making a run at...both Woodyard and Williamson are in contract yrs. So why not go ahead and sign a guy like Hightower for the next 4 yrs and know that you won't be forced to replace your whole LBer corp next offseason.

    If Robinson does deals like that, I will be thrilled.

    But Jeffery is in line to become a top-3 paid WR. He's not worth that.

    Half the league has more than $30 million to spend (or something like that). It's unprecedented. We are going to see mediocre players get WAY overpaid.
